When he learned that the entire mansion was suddenly surrounded by officers and soldiers overnight, Gu Yaotian, the head of the Gu family on the surface, was suddenly shocked and angry.

But before he could figure out how to deal with this game, someone from the front yard had already rushed to report: "Master, there is a Master Guo who said that he wants to meet you." ”

"Master Guo...... Guo Chong? Gu Yaotian is also familiar with the internal situation of the Dayue Imperial Court today, and when he heard this title, his heart jumped.

This Guo Chong has also been famous in Jinling in the past year, even the court officials are a little stunned when they meet this chief official of the Wuyi Division, not to mention that his Gu family is just an ordinary person. What's more, he is still a bit of a thief......

"No, it can't be because of that, there must be another reason...... Gu Yaotian comforted himself while thinking about how to deal with the comer. But before he could make up his mind, after a slight commotion, several people had already strode into the hall and came to the atrium hall, it was Guo Chong and them.

"Old ...... Master, the little ones can't stop a few adults......" The steward who entered the hall before them pleaded guilty with a panicked face, but was then pushed aside by Guo Chong's subordinates.

This kind of behavior made Gu Yaotian even more annoyed, but he could only get up to greet him, and asked, "Why did Lord Guo suddenly visit Hanmen at night, I don't know what to learn?" ”

Guo Chong was not annoyed, but said lightly: "What your Gu family did secretly, I don't know that this official came today, naturally because you have already happened!" ”

These words made Gu Yaotian even more nervous, but he still insisted on: "Lord Guo said that he laughed, my Gu family has always been cautious since returning to the imperial court, and I no longer dare to let my children wait for foreign births, and I have always paid taxes and served in accordance with the rules of the imperial court, and I have never violated the royal law, so how can I ...... it?"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Guo Chong with a rough wave of his hand: "I won't talk to you, let your family master come out and talk to the official." ”

"I am the head of the Gu family!" Gu Yaotian glared at the other party angrily, such an attitude was really unbearable.

"You're just a façade on the stage, have you really done it? What the official wants to see is Gu Tang! If he continues to hide and refuses to see people, then don't blame the official for taking people to the backyard to search! Guo Chong didn't intend to give the other party any face at all, and insisted strongly.

"You ......" Gu Yaotian was really panicked now, this can be regarded as the Gu family's biggest secret recently. Since being pardoned by the government, in order to keep a low profile, they announced to the public that Gu Tang, the head of the old family, was too old and sick to be a director, and had abdicated to make way for Xian, and he would succeed him as the head of the family.

In fact, it is still Gu Tang who controls the decision-making of family affairs, even in the Gu family, and only a very few people know this inside story.

How will the other party know? Is it a temptation?

Just when Gu Yaotian was a little hesitant and didn't know how to respond, two coughs sounded from behind, and then an old figure of Long Zhong slowly walked over with the support of two house slaves, and it was Gu Tang who showed up.

Compared with Gu Yaotian, who was caught off guard, Gu Tang seemed to be more calm and sophisticated, and when he came to Guo Chong at this time, he only smiled and bowed: "Old Gu Tang has seen Lord Guo, I don't know what happened to Lord Guo suddenly coming here tonight?" ”33

"The head of the Gu family doesn't have to pretend to be confused anymore, do you still need the official to tell you what your Gu family is doing in secret?" Guo Chong sneered and looked at him.

But Gu Tang didn't panic, he smiled back, and he was not in a hurry to speak, waiting for him to explain.

Seeing him with such a posture, Guo Chong knew that the pressure had failed, so he stopped going around in circles, and said in a deep voice: "Your Gu family has become more and more bold in the past few months, not only to make friends with the court officials and let them benefit you, but also try to interfere in the appointment of officials in the court, can I really find out if I Wu Yisi?" ”

Although the expression on Gu Tang's face remained unchanged, his heartbeat was fast, they thought they were doing these things extremely secretively, but they didn't expect to be found out by Wuyisi's secret agents earlier......

Before Guo Chong's words were finished, his eyes fixed on the old man's face, and he said, "Of course, if it were just these things, this official would not have led troops to surround your Gu family tonight." Your biggest mistake is that you are trying to collude with foreign enemies and become enemies of the imperial court.

"You don't really think that you secretly met with the secret spies of the Liangzhou army, and then repeatedly communicated with the officials who benefited you, and together with them, you will not be found out about spreading all kinds of information that is unfavorable to the imperial court?

"I actually dare to spread the rumor that His Majesty was killed in various parts of the Yangtze River, and my Dayue Imperial Court will inevitably be defeated by the rebels of the Liangzhou army, which disturbs the hearts of our people and the army, it is really their hearts that can be punished, and they deserve death!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Gu Yaotian and the other Gu family members around him suddenly turned pale, and the bodies of several people in the know began to sift the chaff.

Only Gu Tang still maintained his composure, and quickly spoke: "Lord Guo's accusations against the old decay are really unadmitted, our Gu family has long been obedient to the imperial court and loyal to Your Majesty, how can we do such a lawless, kingless and fatherless deed."

"These charges must be falsely accused, framed, and must be lies made up by some people who have enemies with my Gu family. We want to see Your Majesty, we want to see Lord Wu......"

Only then did the others react, and they also shouted Qu Lai one after another, bluntly saying that they were innocent, and there was no such thing as Guo Chongshicai said.

In the end, Gu Tang said bluntly: "Lord Guo, there must be some misunderstanding in this matter, although my Gu family is not as good as it was back then, but in Jinling, there is still a certain influence and popularity in Jiangnan, and I will never admit my guilt because of this false accusation." Unless, you can produce evidence......"

He was convinced that it was impossible for the other party to come up with evidence, because there was no evidence at all.

In order to ensure safety, his Gu family conspired with others and never left anything substantial, and he couldn't make it out of thin air, right?

Unexpectedly, after hearing his statement, Guo Chong smiled: "The evidence may not be available for a while, but there are witnesses!" As he spoke, he slapped twice, and then saw that among the several important family members of the Gu family sitting in the hall, two of them stood up one after another.

They didn't dare to make any eye contact with Gu Tang and the others, so they said in a low voice: "In April this year, Lord He of the Ministry of Officials was invited to my house for a secret meeting, and we talked for two hours, and then more than ten officials who had a deep friendship with our Gu family were placed in various places in Jiangnan as officials. ”

"In the middle of October, a secret envoy from Liangzhou came to visit at night and had a secret conversation with the head of the family for half the night, and then he asked us to send someone to spread the news that His Majesty the Emperor had already had an accident and did not know whether he was alive or dead, thus causing turmoil in the people of Jinling City......"

Some people died, but not completely......
